COVENT-GANDEN The applause excited by the excellent representation of The Rivals, at this Theatre, on Thursday, and the numerous audience that attended it, induced the Managers to bring it forward again last night, instead of The Clan destine Marriage, which had been announced. The Rivals is certainly not equal to The School for Scandal in brilliancy of dialogue, but it pos. Sesses a greater variety of characters, and o p better suited to the taste of a general andierik.7o, except as to the relined iniNcrio's of Faulk land and Julia. It was as well visited as on the preceding night, and it was full as well represented by the Performers. Mr. PARREN already become a popular Actor, and his Sir An - ,thony Absolute is well calculated to increase his reputation. it is, indeed, rather surprising, that a young man (for it is said that he is only twenty-five years old), should have so completely identified himself with the character of Age in his performance. Mrs. DAN,' EXPORT ;ivies a very appropriate support to Mrs. Malaprop, but if she could contrive to soften the force of her screams, they would certainly be more agreeably ope rativeupontheauditory's nerves.—JoNEs improved last night upon his Sir Lucius, but the part certainly requires a more decided brogue, anti something. more formidable in figure. Captain Absolute, Faukland, Julia, and Lydia Languish, were again ably sup. ported by C. ii:EmBLE, YOUNG, Mrs. FAUCIT, and Miss BRUNTON. lirhile Managers revive such Cotnedies, and support them with such talents, we h ope, t or the cre di t o f the Public, that they will not .have.occa , ion to disgrace their Theatres by Tumblers and sleight-ol hand tricks, but obtain liberal patronage by a due maintenance of the regular Drama in both of its legitimate depart tHentS.

It appears now he is taken, that he meastires but ten feet in length, seven in circumference, and has several bunches on his back. Captain Rich states, that he is the same serpent that htt bar !molted some time since, as the wound then 111,ade was still fres:), and that when he last struck hint he appeared 70 feet in length.

TYPHUS FEVER. Dr. JorIN BINGHAN/, of Leixlip, loss published in the Irish Papers the following, as a successful mode of treating the malignant lever now so pre valent in that country. Ile observes that his own expel ience of its efficacy enables him to promul gate it with confidence. The remedy, in fact, consists in the exhibition of mustard. '' From the favourable effect," olvierves lir. B. " I have inva riably found it to produce on he patient, I place a great relianceon it, especially when administered in the early stage of the complaint, by giving the pa tient, if an adult, a tea-spoon hill, or'? drachms, of common mustard, mixed in a (limbic)• of tepid water, which, in less than Inuif an hour, will pro duce a gentle, free, and salutaty vomiting, merely disburthening the stomach of its contents ; and during its operating, I give the patient about a quart of tepid water, as used it the ordi nary vomits. luime.liately on the mustard be ing taken into the stomach, it produces a glow of warmth which pervades the entire sys tem, together with a singular sensation scarcely to he described, unless by the patients who have used it, that soon changes the skin from that hot, due, and uncomfortable feel, always to be met in incipient fever, into a sole, moist, and cool state, which is succeeded by a gentle perspiration, and the re-establishment of the Innetions of the digcs tiveorgaus. In about eight hours after the stomach has been emptied in the above manner, I give the patient (if full grown) four grains of calomel ; and in the course of too hours alter the admini stering of the calomel, I give a gentle saline pur gative. NVith this prompt treatment, I have, in the majority of cases where the patients mat!e ap plication to toe, dm ing the first two or three days of their complaining, rescued them from a com plaint setting in with all its malignant features ; and, in a few instances in which I have not sup pressed the Epidemic in this way, I have found, that by having recourse to mustard, with oth, l i auxiliaries, in the future Stages of the complaint, enabled me almost invariably to announce the certain recovery of the patient."

Ilis reception was flattering, and the receipts of the house amounted to nearly 1-100 dollars.

[Continued from Yesterday's Striv.3 ;From The Royal Ga:ettc aTal Bahama Advertiser, July 23.] TO THE EDITORS OF THE ROYAL GAZETTE. St RS ,—Allow me, through you, to trouble the Public with a few remarks on the late Publication of Mr. %Vylly in your Paper of the 18th lust. One of the most important features of that curious production is one, perhaps, not calculated to strike the reader at 'first sight, at least when read on this Island, where it is universally known that Mr. Wyllv has never yet been brought before the Hoose of Assembly on any charges, and con sequently had no opportunity of answ ening any. For whether intended or not, the cha rg es Anil answers, as publi s h e d at t h e request o f Mr. Welly, would certainly lead any person, ignorant of farts, to conclude - that such were the Answers of Mr. ‘Vylly, as actually delivered in at the Bar of tl.e House. The Publication begins with a written request front Mr. IVylly that an enclosed paper (night be published. Then follow " Charges," &c.—As contained in " tour several Resolutions made by the House of Assembly," &c. and " Mr. IVylly's Answers to those Chat ges." The Reso lutions are then given, with technical precision, in the very language, or nearly so, as they appear on the minutes of the House ; each Resolutioo being followed up by a paragraph, headed in Stm.ll Capitals, with the word " Answer." Now who, in any part of the world beyond the precincts of tli s one little Island, could understand this otherwise, than that the poblication contained the proceed ings before the House on the matter in question Observe also, tho4e Answers are dated the 14th instant, the very day on which Mr. Wylly was to have appeared at the Bar of the House, had not the Assembly been previously prorogued. In the " Answers" too, Mr. IV's expressions are " the present House of Assembly."—" the late House of Assembly " when speaking of the former House which had been dissolved 'in January 181 7—(thia latter expression occurs twice in his " Answers, - ) and finally, the words " this House " in his last Answer ; all admirably calculated to help out the deception ! li'or these Charges and Answers, though dated tlie 14th inst. are not sent to the Press until the day afterwards, as appears by the date of Mr. Wylly's note to you, enclosing thent for publication ; on which last day the Assembly was dissolved. The diss'olution indeed had virtually taken place the (lay before. And as your Paper was not published until the 18th, there was quite suffi cient time to correct the errors in question, had there been any disposition to do so. There ap pears, on the whole, therefore, strong reason to ' suspect that Mr. IV's publication Was not intend ed merely for the meridian of the Bahama Islands. And we may possibly find Mr. James Stephen, in an Appendix to his next Pamphlet, publishing, on the authority of your Gazette, '' the spirited and highly argumentative Answers of his esteem ed friend Mr. Wylly, to certain audacious charges of the Bahama House of Assembly ; which he -im pressively delivered, with his usual manliness, at the Bar of the House ; and thereby posted all his enemies, so completely, that it does not appear the House ventured to proceed farther against them." But whether the deception was intended to go that length or not, it would seem to be at least insinuated, that the " Answers" were those which Mr. IVylly intended to uli.ke at the Bar of the House. But even this cannot he true. Mr. \Vylly wel! knew that the fl utist! would never have suffered him to beard it with impunity, with such a tissue of evasion, and in so high a tone of recrimina tion and contempt. 'Liken, therefore, in any possible point of view, the pliblication in lilies-. (ion is, perhaps, as decided an act o f di s re: ;;;ec t to the Assembly, as was ever before offered to it, even by Mr. ‘Vvlly himself. But setting those considerations aside for the present, let us look a little into the substance of these saute " Answers," as they appear in your Gazette. Mr. \Vvlly certainly is posse•sed of so perior talents. Aitd the first reflection, therefore, which the occasion here suggests, is that of regret that a Gentleman ,0 highly endowed with the fa culties necessary for his defence before any tribu nal in the country, should wage Newspaper battle o n ly vim h his opponents ; and by some nook or continually avoid the only test which would he either conclusive or satisfactory. It requires but little skill, and still less substan tial merits, to conduct a Newspaper DOence asith plausihiliiy. Printers ate not pi ivileged to cross examine those who appear before their Court. Like Hamlet's Clowns, they must " speak no more than is set down for them." This, there fore, is a most convenient form of trial for those who have any thing to keep out of view ; or whose sensibilities are not prepared for thuse sift ing and troublesome investigations to which the ruder Courts of Justice are apt to have re course. For instance, Mr. Wylly denies that he ever " misrepresented" the proceedings of the House to Mr. Wilberforce or his party. But this is at hest equivocal ; and leaves the clues' ion just where it was before. Does Mr. Wylly mean to say, that he had no correspondeuce wh,o soever with that patty, on the matter in Tits tion ? or that he communicated to them only the truth, and not what Mr. James Stclu,en af terwards falsely published almost in his (Wr. V'''s) name ? or did Mr. Wylly mean to say, that he did communicate what Mr-Stephen published, but that it was no misrepresentatioa ? A few plain questions, fairly answered at the Bar of the Assembly to these points, would have been much more acceptable to those who have still any doubt upon the subject, than all the flourishes that may be sent to the Press about it. Again, Ali.. \Vylly affects to consider a note which he received limn a Committee oldie house as " an insult ;" and why ? because the Commit tee hail the presumption to tell him that he was accused of the inaccuracies above alluded to, re specting the "louse, in his correspondence with the abolitionists ; and invited hint to exculpate himself—to exculpate himself ! What an affront .0 the dignity of an Attorney-Geneial I The truth is, that the note which the Committee wrote to hilu was faulty only in being too
